I'm still feeling carsick and uncomfortable all day, so I'm taking a day off and will only be posting two updates today.

Chapter 234 Summer Special! A Refreshing Surprise!

"Oh, so you guys are really interested in primary schools! That's great, after all, there aren't many places that can accommodate a large number of people!"

"That's right, and the membership fee is tight. I heard that there are discounts if more people go here, so it's a great choice!"

With bright smiles, Shinji Tokita and Ryujiro Kotobuki gathered everyone in the activity room and announced the decision made after the seniors' final discussion!

This summer-themed training camp in the current abandoned school building is simply a godsend, a must-go!

"……well?"

For some reason, Miyazawa Yu looked at Tokita-senpai and Kotobuki-senpai with suspicion, feeling that their smiles were fake, as if they had been replaced by low-intelligence pseudo-humans.

Moreover, when it comes to summer themes, even game developers know to release more swimsuit skins to make money, but the old school building doesn't look like a place where you can wear a swimsuit at all.

"Oh, I see! Great! Let's all go together!"

Yoshihara Aina wasn't really in the mood; she was just recovering from a serious illness and simply wanted to go out and have fun with everyone, so she happily agreed with both hands.

While the former was drawing the attention of the seniors, Miyazawa Yu quietly circled around for a while before finally managing to get a glimpse of the small blackboard that the seniors were hiding behind.

The pen marks had been erased, but four and a half characters were still faintly discernible from the corners: "[A refreshing scare!]"

Having ruled out the possibility that his senior had misspelled the word, he immediately put on an expression of sudden realization, and his eyes turned disdainful.

It has to be said that this is indeed a summer characteristic, but this characteristic is a bit wild!

"Alright! It's decided then! By the way, about this training camp..."

At the same time, he extended a finger to declare, and then, following Shinji Tokita's voice, Ryujiro added, "We're preparing to split up and act separately for each grade!"

"What?"

The group was confused. The two rascals from the Pab club, along with Aina and Chisa, all looked at their senior with their beady eyes. Kitahara Iori also keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"Why this time? Shouldn't a training camp be fun because everyone is together?!"

"That's it!"

"Well, there's really no particular reason..."

Faced with the questions, Shinji Tokita's smile remained unchanged, although the backlighting, perhaps due to the lighting, made his expression look somewhat sinister.

"And it wouldn't be bad to occasionally act together with [the same group of friends]!"

"Is this so..."

It's hard for Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei to maintain absolute trust in their unscrupulous seniors; they always felt that some kind of conspiracy awaited them.

However, since the seniors have already said so, there's nothing that can be done. As juniors, if we are powerless to resist, we should think carefully about how to carry it out. Maybe the seniors just want to train their self-care ability!

"In that case, we first-year students will only need to rent one car, right?"

"Then we'll meet up with the seniors at the designated time, right? I'll call the car..."

Although he's usually a bit unreliable, Kohei has become very familiar with the entire car rental process after going out with his seniors so many times.

By the way, his father, who lives near Silu, has developed the habit of checking shop reviews before renting a car. After all, his experience renting a car on Miyako Island was not pleasant at all, and he still vividly remembers the unscrupulous uncle's semi-trailer!

"But then Yu can't take off her clothes. By the way, the guy who takes up too many seats should pay extra for the ride!"

"Um...sorry, I won't be able to join you this time~"

With her arms crossed and head shaking, now that she knew about her seniors' conspiracy, how could Miyazawa Yu be so foolish as to jump in?

Four toys are enough for the seniors to have fun with. Rather than looking for answers to questions, he now has a somewhat immature idea that urgently needs to be put into practice!

"Huh? Yu isn't coming with us...?"

"Aina, don't look at me with such a disappointed look. I'm always here with you guys, but this time I'm going to go all the way with my seniors~"

"Pah! You talk so nicely, but all you want is to ride in the same car as Nanaka-nee and Azusa-senpai, you traitor!"

Without any mercy, Kitahara Iori exposed the fig leaf Yu had woven for himself. His face contorted with envy, and he spat out a mouthful of filth and raised his middle finger without hesitation.

Seriously, can't all the social butterflies just go and degrade themselves? Is it really that fun to constantly flaunt their relationships with these single people?

"Never mind this guy, Aina Chisa, we can walk ourselves, there's plenty of room in the car!"

"Keep it up, everyone!"

After waving goodbye to the sulking freshmen, Miyazawa Yu turned to her seniors with a smile and gave them a thumbs up. "Oh dear, it seems I've been abandoned by accident. If you seniors don't accept me, I'll just tell Iori and the others that there's a test of courage!"

"Um!!!"

His expression instantly turned as if he were constipated. His carefully crafted plan had been used to threaten him. How was this any different from traditional Japanese entertainment?

However, in order for the plan to proceed smoothly, Shinji Tokita had no choice but to agree to expand the planning team and bring Yuya, who had discovered the truth in advance, into the ranks of the persecutors.

"Yu, is it really okay not to hang out with Chisa and the others? Isn't it better to go to club training camps with classmates?"

Reluctantly walking behind Yu, Nanaka Kotegawa was worried about the former's "unsociable" behavior. After hesitating for a while, she finally spoke up to advise, "Azusa and I don't need your company that much..."

"No, no, no, it has absolutely nothing to do with Nanaka-nee-san. I just didn't want to be teased by my seniors."

Lying on the sofa listening to the seniors' plans, Miyazawa Yu casually explained, pressing down the hand that had wrapped around his face from behind, "Besides, if I'm in the freshman group, the horror factor will definitely be halved, right?"

"Hmm, that's true~ But Yu, please don't neglect Chisa and the others because of us~"

"Yes--!"

Using her sweet voice, she tricked Nanaka into preparing lunchboxes, but Miyazawa Yu's expression instantly turned sinister—that's right! The game experience for the new students was just an excuse!

Or perhaps his real purpose was to give Iori Chisa and the others more opportunities to experience the game!

It's well known that haunted houses in neon are great places for romance. The terrifying scenes get your adrenaline pumping, and the suspension bridge effect, where adversity reveals true feelings, also gives men and women an extra opportunity to examine their inner selves.

Judging from the current progress, even after graduation, the rest of the Pab group may not be able to open up about their true feelings!

As a devoted and worried father, he couldn't allow an imperfect ending to occur! So time had to be accelerated!

"Senior, I have many suggestions regarding the test of courage competition, though they may not be entirely well-developed. How about we do this..."

"Hiss... In Sri Lanka! They actually know how to do this!"

"The idea of ​​dividing into groups, then regrouping and breaking up again is good. The old school buildings are symmetrical in the whole!"

"..."

Seeing the dark energy surge wildly after Yu joined in, making it seem like the entire planning team was involved, Hamaoka Azusa picked up her beer, took a sip, and smiled helplessly.

Hopefully, Iori and the others can handle it. After all, from just a few keywords, she could tell that the test of courage was heading in a terrifying direction!

"Senior Azusa, could you please do me a favor?"

"Yes~ dressing up as a ghost to scare Chisa and the others is fine, right? Leave it to me~"

"Emmm...that's only part of it. The most important thing is psychological counseling."

Turning the test of courage into a scene from a horror movie, Miyazawa Yu made a dashing exit amidst the eerie laughter of his seniors.

Walking to the table, he snatched Azusa's ice-cold beer to soothe his throat and said with a headache, "Azusa-senpai should know about Chisa and Iori, and Kohei and Aina, right?"

"Well, I know a little bit about it..."

With her legs crossed, Hamaoka Azusa, upon hearing this topic, still maintained her mischievous cat-like smile, but her eyes instantly turned serious.

After all, it involves the romantic lives of her junior classmates, and as a senior, she has a responsibility to guide things in the right direction and protect them!

"Although I'm not in a position to say this, it's true that Mana is a very cute girl, but she clearly lacks experience in the world..."

"……continue?"

"I think she seems to have confused gratitude with love, it's that simple!"

Knowing that Senior Azusa disliked beating around the bush, Yu Miyazawa held her beer, looked up at the sky with a conflicted expression, but still stated her discovery directly.

It's laughable, really. He's just a newbie who's only been dating for a few months, yet he's already making unwarranted comments about other people's relationships. Isn't that a bit too smug?

"I don't mean to be condescending. I just want to let Mana experience the feeling of being protected again through this ordeal. That's all. I hope it will help her."

"Hmm...that sounds like a great idea, so what does Yu want me to do?"

Hamaoka Azusa casually pressed her fingertips on Yu's temples in a gentle circular motion, her eyes filled with surprise, and her shoulders completely relaxed—

She agreed with at least 90% of Yu's assessment.

Aina seems to always be overly self-conscious and lacking in love because of her rural background. It's hard to say whether she can distinguish between gratitude, friendship, and love after receiving help from Iori.

However, as a senior, she could only offer guidance when the other party was in trouble, but had no right to interfere with her own conclusions.

Yu's approach was clearly a compromise; by letting the other person realize their confusion through the event, it would be more reasonable to provide guidance at that point.

"Please give Aina some life advice, Azusa-senpai! I don't know why this phrase has been used so often these past few days..."

Chapter 235 The Abandoned School Building and the Female Elementary School Student!

"Ah! I miss it so much! It really was elementary school. It's hard to believe we studied in such a small place for six years!"

"Well, for Iori, who can't be confined even by university, elementary school must be a cage, right?"

After parking the car steadily in the parking space marked by the organizer, Chisa Kotegawa turned the key to turn off the engine and left the driver's seat with a sense of relief and reluctance.

To be honest, driving is a really tiring job. If there hadn't been a rest stop for a picnic, her back probably wouldn't have been able to take it!

However, the only thing that is hard to give up is the air conditioning in the car. As summer approaches, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Now, even in the afternoon, you will be covered in sweat if you stand in the sun.

but……

Using her hands to shade her eyes from the setting sun, Chisa Kotegawa gazed at the school building in front of her, its exterior walls covered in ivy and its overall structure slightly dilapidated, filled with nostalgia!

Although Japan has events like campus open days or campus festivals, there are very few opportunities for university students to legitimately return to a normal campus.

The large cluster of buildings, still in their original state and even ringing the school bell, can easily evoke childhood memories!

If it weren't for the funny people around me~

"Oh dear, Kohei, you have to be careful! I heard that these old elementary schools are built on cemeteries. Don't get scared by the ghosts of those schoolchildren!"

"Go to hell, Iori! Only scum like you would be dragged straight to hell by the lovely Ghost Lady!"

"Hey guys! Don't say such unlucky things when you're out having fun!"

"Headache……"

With one hand supporting her forehead, unsure how to comment on the noisy trio behind her, who resembled a group of elementary school students on a sightseeing tour, Kotegawa Chisa felt that Yu's decision to run to find her older sister was absolutely correct!

Just then, a familiar license plate came into view, and she exclaimed with slight surprise, "Oh, it seems the seniors have already arrived!"

"Huh? They're here so early? I thought they'd definitely break down because they'd been drinking and no one was driving..."

"Oh, you're here. Please have a little bit of faith in your senior, okay?"

Having been waiting for the new students to arrive for a long time, Miyazawa Yu peeked out to greet Iori, a bead of cold sweat sliding down her forehead—

Iori may not understand human affairs, but his judgment of his seniors is surprisingly accurate!

In fact, if it weren't for Nana-hua's strict supervision, they almost wouldn't have been able to gather four drivers for their group of more than ten people, and the car would have broken down on the spot! They barely managed to get everyone together by driving out the store's delivery van!

"Yu! You guys are here so early!"

"After all, there are many preparations to be made, there's no other way..."

"That's so satisfying! Those sneaky bastards!"

His expression instantly turned smug, and Kitahara Iori moved in front of Yu in a strange posture, lowered his head, and tapped his forehead with one hand, saying in a disgusting way, "Then we'll gladly accept your offer and enjoy it! Hehehe!"

"Ugh, you're still as annoying as ever!"

Miyazawa Yu's expression froze for a moment, but he was frantically pressing down the corners of his mouth, forcing himself not to laugh out loud. However, this scene instantly changed in the eyes of Iori and Kohei!

Not only did he cheat on her emotionally, but he also forced her to work in real life! How pleasing to the ear!

What they wanted to see was Yu's expression—that look of jealousy that they didn't have to do anything but swallow their anger!

"Ah~ They've started bullying Yu. It's a traditional skill of Iori and Kohei. So, is it really that fun to hurt each other?"

"Who knows? Maybe all boys are like that?"

Boy: No! We are not! Please distinguish between scumbags and normal teenagers!

In short, while expressing her bewilderment at the mutual interference of the three scoundrels of the Pab Club, Kotegawa Chisa sighed and, with a helpless tone, persuaded Iori and Kohei, who were emitting extremely arrogant cackling laughter, to separate.

"Alright, Yu? Where are you guys planning to camp?"
